Journey ahead — From Puri, he will head for Kolakata via Bhubaneswar and then walk to Pashupatinath in Nepal, Badrinath and Dwaraka to complete the trip.Kailash started the arduous journey when he was some 21 years to fulfil his mother's wish to take up `Char Dham' yatra as he recovered from a long ailment following his mother's prayers.
He lost his father and elder brother when he was young and decided to take up the journey on his own physical efforts rather than asking for money from anyone. Everyday, he manages to cover four to five km and prefers to take rest along with his old mother at some roadside temple.
He cooks food from whatever people give him and serves it to his mother first. He says that his mother's affection is his greatest strength.
